Ubuntu's default package download location is /etc/, or to /usr/ locations, and as far as I know, there is no way to change it. However, it is possible to move files, etc. to the other drive and have the service files pull from a newly specified location, ie. on your other drive. The best option would be to use one drive or the other for your main drive, using one as a primary, and the other as a backup, or shared drive.
